"Time is a mental measurement, ofttimes we forget this and think time actually exists. Similarly space, only different."

— The Unknown Haijin

One of the great delusions is that Cyberian time is longer than it actually is. For example, I can knock a decent enough blog out in 15 minutes, easy. What is there to it? A burst of song, a pic, and some templated basics (drop down menu, contact details). All that happens in a trice and then it's a thing, in timelessness. However, to be fair, there is psychic space (an aspect of ma). But, this is still delusional - as in maya. We can buy into it and think real-time is going down, or we can not bother and blog-time ceases to be any more than a momentary, illustrated blurb - or whatever, in passing. This is a basic requirement of the haiku life - to see through glamour's enchantments. To not be taken off by the fairies for a year and a day because we are tempted to eat of fae food and drink of fae wine. . . .
